Is anyone watching the match live if so can you explain me Shah's run-out
 
Here's the cricinfo description, not sure what to add.

93.5 Baker to Shah, OUT, Shah's stitched himself up again! His running between the wickets has been a liability all tour, and this time there's no saving him. A quick single to midwicket, but the substitute Dwayne Bravo swooped in an instant and pinged down the stumps!
OA Shah run out 33 (118b 5x4 0x6) SR: 27.96
 
Charles Colville compares Gayle's captaincy to Baldrick's (from blackadder) Its a cunning plan but no one can figure out what?
 
This test is no different to last two... England looking at 500-600 and then declare and W.I will have a tricky session to bat tonight.

I think england need to change tact and just bat till tea get 500 declare and give bowlers more time to try and get 20 wkts!

Collingwood 150(271) - Prior 94(147)
England 458-4 after 141 overs @ 3.24
last 10 overs 46-0
39 overs remaining today
 
Prior gets hundred no 2 both against the West Indies, England move to 476-4
 
Surely they should be going for the slog? Quick runs - every minute Windies are in the field is 1 less minute they bat!
 
At this moment in time I'm actually hoping England stuff the Windies.

Really poor approach from Gayle.

Looking forward to a great debut from Amjad.
 
Gayle asks for referral - with style!

Looked PLUMB LBW to me!
 
think england should go bezerk in next 10 overs, getting to 550, declare and let west Indies face 20 overs
 
Referral succesful

Collingwood out LBW

Lionel Baker gets his 1st test wkt

Eng: 486-5

Should've used the referral about 150 runs ago when Collingwood looked very out against Powell, anyway will this see the Windies spring to life, I doubt it, though nice for Baker he's promising but obviously very raw.
 
England on top. WI are no where nere England's pace at the momement.
 
Shah has been a very good player for England as an ODI player and I hope that he can succeed as a test player.

My fear is that he may be booted from test squad as the selectors may argue that 4 tests is enough to prove yourself.

Pick yourself man for the second innings (thats if W.I dont bat out till day 5!) as you are a class player and a potential spear head for the next few years in tests!

shah looks like another ramprakash full of talent but is a bags of nervous at the crease. It seems he hasnt got the temperament to succeed at test level

The boy has done it at ODi level with great success so I don't agree with
you that he is similar to Ramprakash.

In terms of tests then to be fair he has not had a proper run at all and he is wasting the one he has now. Lets reserve judgment as I feel that all he needs is one big innings to kickstart him.
 
Not watched any of todays play so far but have heard alot of criticism coming in the way of the West Indies and Chris Gayle, people having been knocking him for his boring and defensive approach!

Has he really been that bad??????
 
151.2 Baker to Prior, 1 leg bye, appeals for lbw and that's hitting him outside off. Good shout though. But Tiffen raises the finger! Well, well, well. Prior's referring it and the replays do indicate it hit him outside the off stump by two inches, perhaps more, and Tiffen's made a second poor decision of the day. As expected, Aleem Dar reverses the decision

Bob Willis has some interesting thoughts on umpires Tiffen and Harper
 
155.6 Baker to Broad, OUT, gosh, a wicket. How improbable. Broad blazes a length delivery down the ground, in the air, to Simmons at long-off who claims a comfortable catch at chest height
SCJ Broad c Simmons b Baker 19 (28b 1x4 0x6) SR: 67.85

England 530/6 (156.0 ov)
24 overs left today

I think with the Ashes in mind, England will be quite cut throat with the batting positions and Shah's position will be the most up for grabs.
 
Gayle living dangerously but WI cannot really expect to match Englands score in every match ! Something will give - sooner or later!
 
sorry guys but Amjad Khans action is suspect to me - at the point of delivery there seems to be too much of a wrist movement...
 
Ok Mike Holding says nothing wrong with his action :D
 
Amjad khan this guy has pace !
He is all over the place but they should let him bowl fast this exciting !
 
Monty strikes with only 2 overs left in the day
WI 90-1 after 17 overs - trail by 456
 
Devon Smith out due mainly to a lack of concentration it seemed.

This guy looks the part when he's batting but just not pushing on, done the hard work in this series without cashing in.
 
Gayle 59(101) - Sarwan 12(23)
WI 114-2 after 30.2 overs - trail by 432 runs
 
and he gets his first wicket

Khan to Sarwan, OUT, full, straight, a hint of drift, and that is absolutely stone-dead! Amjad Khan strikes, and Ramnaresh Sarwan has failed for the first time this series!
 
With all thse no-balls Amjad Khan has been bowling, surely he should have been selected for Pakistan...
 
is it me or does amjad khans action slighty resemble to imran khans action
 
Embarrasing appeal from Monty.

Match ref needs to get involved on this - disgraceful!
 
Tony Cozier on Monty''s appeal:

Its intimidating & its unacceptable
 
Anderson just bowled a delivery that flashed up as 93.4 MPH!

Its been like that for God knows how long! Sky Sports commentators became irked at it a long time ago.......yet nothing from the referees.
 
Montys appeals are comical not intimidating. People generally have a good laugh about it. Even umpires. if anything it works against him. Even his serious appeals get ignored. He has to learn what to appeal and when to appeal.

Pathetic LBW appeal - batsman hit the ball into his bads.

Monty appeal was not pleasant....
 
Ball starting to keep low now - Eng will enjoy that!

WI: 180-3 off 50 overs

Gayle & Simmons looking assured.

Is Simmons related to 'Big Phil'?

I believe he is the nephew of Phil.
 
52.5 Broad to Gayle, 1 run, over the wicket, tipped to midwicket, Shah misfields, Gayle hurtles through, the shy comes in, misses, that's the hundred, but Gayle is down and hurt! Chaos

Well batted skipper, but he's in a lot of pain. He's had hamstring problems before, and that lunge for the crease has done him a disservice. He'd have been run out had the shy hit, incidentally.

The physio is out, but Gayle is not moving well. He's down on the ground, holding his head in his hands. This would be very bad news for West Indies, especially with Chanderpaul suffering as well

Gayle 100(161) - Simmons 2(69)
WI 195-3 after 52.5 overs - trail by 351
56 overs left today

Lots of gesticulations from the physio now, and it looks as though he's going to have to go off. "He's just not used to running quickly," remarks Mike Atherton, with some justification

Gayle retired hurt

So, off goes Gayle, limping heroically, and on comes another hop-along. It's Shivnarine Chanderpaul, who is not moving at all freely.

Simmons is OUT LBW to Monty - failed referral! Was out PLUMB! No idea why it was referred

WI: 203-4
 
Amjad Khan back on. Starts off with an 89 mph delivery.

Very deceptive bowler.
 
Gayle's going to have an MRI scan tomorrow on his right hamstring

Nash 19(32) - Chanderpaul 7(44)
WI 241-4 after 67 overs - trail by 305 runs
42 overs left today
 
71.3 Panesar to Nash, no run, there we go, nicely flighted outside leg and it's padded to silly point. Monty appeals like a lunatic again, and it won't be long before he's hauled into the headmaster's office for excessive appealing. I say "appealing" - it's premature celebration

doubt it...

and btw what is with chanderpaul?!! he is going snail pace!! he used to be the MoYo of WI but recently he has been disappointing to say the least! hope he does good, would love to see him make good runs again!
 
Nash 53(127) - Chanderpaul 36(118)
WI 312-4 after 95 overs - trail by 234
14 overs left today
 
Nasser Hussain has vowed to run on the pitch naked if Windies cross 500 in their first innings. :)

183 runs to go.
 
There should be some sort of reprimand coming Englands way from this match I would think.

Harper's had a word with Swann about his appealing in triplicate. England's appealing, quite honestly, has been a galloping disgrace all day. I know they're desperate, and yes the wicket's hard work, but their angry histrionics have lent an ugly air to today's proceedings.

Yet another fifty for Chanders. His 53rd. Fifty third. Five. Three.
Including hundreds, this is the 73rd time Chanderpaul has passed fifty. Monstrous

Chanders 50(147) - Nash 65(158)
WI 338-4 after 105 overs
4 overs remaining today

103.4 Panesar to Chanderpaul, no run, pads up and Monty appeals, despite it hitting him seven feet outside the off stump

It isn't just you, I was thinking the same thing, just slightly, not as pronounced as Imran Khan's.
 
Cozier informs us Chanderpaul has a bowling machine at his Florida home. No surprise there, and quite nice to hear in fact. He absolutely loves this game and is one of the most pleasant and polite people you could meet.
 
What does he advertise on the stickers under his eyes though? Its been bugging me for ages, looks like the Carlsberg label from a distance.

I thought it was Digicel. Also I read somewhere last week about some authority not happy with the stickers. I think they were concerend about the logo and not the sun/light block. I can't remember who the player was but then I think only Chanders have them.

stumps WI 349-4, 197 behind, looks like a repeat of the last test, West Indies might end up getting a lead and putting pressure on England.

Does anybody know what the ICC Test Team rankings will be after this West Indies series triumph?
 
W.I have batted well :) and i think if they are still there at tea then englands chances of winning game could have gone.

So why did Gayle Retire?
